gollark: A bouncer is *a* solution, kind of, but it means I have to run an extra program just to get a basic feature which Discord and whatnot support.
gollark: Formatting does belong in the client, sure, except there's not really much of a way to get people to actually standardize on one.
gollark: But I think the biggest issue is not having message history.
gollark: I like at least having italicization work.
gollark: Like the not very intuitive permissions model, needing you to run a bouncer or something if you want message history, and lack of (generally available) text formatting or file uploads.
